KAROL ADAMIECKI, or WARSAW, POLAND DEVICE FQR MAKING oRT oeonAL DIAGRAMST Applicatilon filed August '25, 1931, Seria1 No. 559,288, and in Poland October 27, 1930.

The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate and accelerate the-making of orthogonal diagrams composed of 7 parallel lines, e. g. Gants diagrams or harmonograms, as well as of drawings composedof parallel lines, without the necessity of using drawing instruments.

According to the invention this can be accomplished by using a device consisting of a flat base composed of a series of parallel strips, and of movable borders, cursors overlapping and embracing the edges of these strips; when forming the diagrams, the base dimension perpendicular to its strips is looked upon as one of the orthogonal variable magnitudes, while the border cursor is the other one. i I l The annexed drawings represent, for the A sake of example, several embodiments of the invention; Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are the front View,

the top View, and the longitudinal section, respectively, of a device for ordinary orthogonal diagrams; Fig. 4-the border cursor in g the perspective View; Figs. 5 and 6the front and top view, respectively, of a device. for

Gants diagrams; Fig. 7-a device for making harmonograms, and Fig. 8a device for making drawings (patterns) composed of H parallel lines.

The device, as shown in Fig. 1, consist-s of a base composed of strips 1, over the edges of which are lapped the border cursors 2 which are movable along the strips 1. The

strips on the right side of the base are provided with a suitable scale. The leftside of tht base is covered with a sheet 3 which may also be, like the base'itself, composed of strips or folds to take exchangeable labels with suit-1 The upper strips of the v able inscriptions. base also serve for placing the exchangeable lnscrlptlons.

Themethod of use ofthe device described above, and destinated for makingorthogonal diagrams, is self-explanatory. 'Instead of drawing a line of a suitable length, it will be sufficient to shove a suitable border cursor from beneath the sheet 3 by a length representing U thogonal magnitude,

Thedevice for Gants diagrams, as shown the given variable or strips, the length of the border cu'rsorcom.

in the Figs. 5 and-6, consists of several devices,as described above, overlapping each other, the only difference consisting in that only the first device is provided with the cover sheet 3 upon which inscriptions are made relating to the variable orthogonal magnitudes laying on the same line. Fig. 7 represents a device adapted for makingharmonograms. Like the devices described above, this'device also consists of a baseformed'by strips 1 providedlongitudinally with a suitabletime scale, (hours, minutes, etc.) and whose edges are overlapped by border cursors'2 embracing the edges of the strips. The length of the border cursors determines the time of dura tion of single operations, and the places occupied by the border cursors on the strips indicate. the chronological order of the operations. Above the single strips 1 are placed exchange able labels 'with the. workers-name or the designation of the given operation which areto be harmonized in time with the remaining operations. On the left side of the table are put the designations ofitime units, as e. g. hours, minutes, etc. 7 J l Finally the Fig, 8 represents a device 0011- structed according to the invention, and adapted for making drawings composed of parallel lines. The ground of" the drawing is formed by strips 1 on the edges of which are movably placed the: border cursors 2.. By selecting border cursors of suitable length and colour, and by shovingthemin right. place along-the strips, one can obtain various patterns, inscriptions, fiat forms, etc. This device may, therefore,"be used in textile factories for making cloth patterns '(repeats), as well as for advertising and artists purposes.
